Abstract
A device for electrically connecting first and second members movable relative to each other, includes a flexible printed circuit board located between the first and second relatively movable members. The flexible printed circuit board has a first side piece and second side piece divided by a cutout made in the flexible printed circuit board. One of the first and second side pieces is bent about 180.degree. in the direction of the relative movement of the first and second members to form a turned 'U' shaped portion. The first side piece has its free end portion fixed to the first member and the second side piece has its free end portion fixed to the second member, so that the displacement of the printed circuit board resulting from the relative movement of the first and second members is absorbed by movement of the 'U' shaped portion.
